| Espresso enhances the chocolate flavor in Nutella. |
At our house we love Nutella the chocolate hazelnut spread. To celebrate World Nutella Day, I tried to find a recipe for something different using Nutella, and I found this simple recipe on
and then I do the dishes blog.
Nutella Hot Chocolate
1 cup milk*
1 tbsp Nutella
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder.
 |
| The ingredients. |
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk all three ingredients together until well combined, warm and frothy. If it's too sweet, add a little more milk. This is good even without the espresso powder, but I happened to have some and it adds a nice flavor.
 |
| I actually used two tablespoons for this because I was making a 12 oz mug of hot chocolate. |
 |
| Add 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder. |
 |
| Stir while heating over medium heat until warm and frothy. |
*At our house we usually drink skim milk, but I did use whole milk for this. Nice and rich. Or you could add a little half and half to skim milk. We keep half and half around as cream for our hot tea.
 |
| Ready to enjoy. |
If you like banana sandwiches, you might try using Nutella instead of mayo or peanut butter. That makes a nice sandwich. I like to toast the bread a bit before spreading the Nutella. Good for a quick breakfast.
 |
| An open faced sandwich. |
 |
| Or a regular sandwich. |
A nice hot cup of Nutella chocolate with a banana/nutella sandwich makes a nice breakfast for Nutella Day or any day for that matter. Yum!
Have a happy
World Nutella Day.
